A changing cityscape. Comprehensive new conception of the genesis of Olbia Pontica for the archaic and classical period.

德国-乌克兰合作项目的目的是对奥尔比亚-庞蒂卡在古代-古典时期的城市发展提出一个全面的新概念，其过程通常假设不再符合目前的研究状况。我们调查的出发点是发现，根据最新的挖掘结果，不可能将奥尔比亚领土划分为核心城市和郊区。虽然该项目的第一阶段已经产生了许多重要成果，但第二个申请期将用于完成和综合重新设计历史事件进程的现有信息来源。在乌克兰当前地缘政治形势的背景下，计划开展的新活动包括对项目迄今为止取得的所有研究数据进行全面分析和出版，对旧挖掘的相关结果进行重新评估，以及对奥尔比亚墓地的古代-古典坟墓进行分布分析，最后为公元前6 -4世纪的奥尔比亚西部地区制定总体规划。如果今后能在现场进行实地研究，将延续迄今为止非常成功的发掘工作，并为奥尔比亚城市史的新概念完善数据基础。计划中的活动将继续关注开挖区域П-1的结构，根据目前已知的所有事实，这是理解城市规划设计的关键。对所有关于晚古代防御工事的可用数据的完整分析，以及对20世纪以来较早发掘的系统整合，也允许进一步指定研究区域内相关建筑对象的时间顺序。对奥尔比亚古代-古典墓地的坟墓分布分析，以及对公元前4世纪迄今未公布的神圣区域的重新评估，都是为了达到同样的目的，为预期的新概念提供全面和科学可靠的数据。最后，在奥尔比亚新的考古证据的基础上，将进行超区域比较，以调查是否以及在多大程度上可以确定希腊殖民地起源的超区域可比规划系统。在短短几年内，德国-乌克兰合作项目成功地通过新的、科学上可靠的结果，从根本上修正了几十年来关于米利都殖民地起源的观点。拟议的第二个项目阶段旨在使这项研究实现盈利和可持续的完成。

The aim of the German-Ukrainian cooperation project is a comprehensive new notion of Olbia Pontica’s urban development in the Archaic-Classical period, whose course as usually hypothesized does no longer match the current state of research. The starting point of our investigations is the discovery, that - based on the latest excavation results - it is impossible to devide the Olbian territory into a core city and a suburb. While the first phase of the project has already produced many significant results, the second application period will be used to complete and synthesize the available sources of information for the redesign of the historical course of events. The new activities planned against the background of the current geopolitical situation in Ukraine include a complete analysis and publication of all research data achieved so far in the project, a re-evaluation of relevant results from old excavations as well as a distribution analysis of Archaic-Classical graves from the Olbian necropolis and finally the creation of a general plan for the western part of Olbia of the 6th-4th century BC. If field research can be carried out on site in the future, it will continue the very successful excavations so far and complete the data basis for the new notion of Olbian urban history. The planned activities will continue to focus on the structure in the excavation area П-1, which, based on all the facts known so far, is key for understanding the urban planning’s design. The complete analysis of all available data on the Late Archaic fortification as well as the systematic integration of older excavations from the 20th century also allow to further specify the chronological sequence of relevant building objects in the study area. A distribution analysis of the graves of the Archaic-Classical necropolis of Olbia as well as the reassessment of a hitherto unpublished sacred zone of the 4th century B.C. serve the same goal, providing comprehensive and scientifically reliable data for the intended new conception. Finally, on the basis of the new archaeological evidence in Olbia, a supra-regional comparison will be made to investigate whether and to what extent a supra-regionally comparable planning system for the genesis of a Greek colony can be identified. In just a few years, the German-Ukrainian cooperation project has succeeded in fundamentally revising the decades-old ideas on the genesis of the Milesian colony by new, scientifically robust results. The proposed second project phase is intended to bring this research to a profitable and sustainable completion.
